wall street is going strongly for romney. does the strong performance in stocks help the president, or is it not connected to main street enough? >> oh, i think it definitely helps him. if you line up the polls in the stock market, it's remarkably similar. people are very much affected by it. >> one other chart that's really interested here. are you better off. look at your paycheck. talk about the premise of over four years are you better off? this is 2000 to 2010. average household income went up a buck and housing and transportation costs went up $1.75 so you've got a middle class that hasn't been feeling the benefits of any kind of rising in the economy for over a decade. is it too ash trar toe say four years? >> too arbitrary saying a decade. happening for 30, 40 years. the question has much more to do about an economic transition, moving away from an economy that had a full spectrum of jobs, manufacturing, to one that is more mature with certain kinds of jobs. has less to do with presidents and more to do with economies
